THANK YOU: To the competitors in the main race and supports, their friends & family and supporters, our brilliant sponsors, spectators, campers, our incredible volunteers and officials, attending media and everyone from near or far who made the trip to the Mountain for the Easter long weekend.
What a weekend it was!

CLASS WINNERS: In Class E, the Mazda 3 SP25 shared by a pair of 16-year-olds in Ruben Dan and Ashton Seiders, together with 71-year-old Calvin Gardner the winners, which surely has to set a Bathurst record for the largest age gap between Bathurst winning co-drivers!

CLASS WINNERS: In a dramatic four-way fight, the Class D honours went the way of Andrew McMaster, Michael Hazelton and Richard Buttrose (BMW 125i) as a 45-second restart penalty for the leading Daniel Flanagan, Dean Chapman and Caleb Hefren Subaru BRZ relegated them to third behind Nick Winsor, Brandon and Chris Whittaker (Toyota 86 GTS).
The result is BMWs first in Class D, and means they have now won in seven separate Bathurst 6 Hour classes. #B6HR
They say motorsport takes time away from your family. But weekends like this remind us that we aren't losing family—we're building a new one.
When we leave our homes on a holiday weekend to chase dreams and immerse ourselves in the roar of engines, we look around the paddock and see a community making the exact same sacrifices. Teammates or rivals, different colors or the same, the mob that takes over that long ribbon of asphalt in the middle of nowhere is family.
The Hi-Tec Oils Bathurst 6 Hour on Easter Sunday is the ultimate proving ground for that bond. Mount Panorama knows how to bite, and this year, it threw everything it had at our two Class D Toyota 86 entries from our Accademia di Guida.
This weekend was a true rollercoaster of highs and devastating lows. We faced a brand-new clutch failure that demanded a full gearbox swap, followed by a sudden loss of power that forced an entire engine replacement. Heartbreakingly, with just 90 minutes left on the clock, one of our cars found the wall and couldn't finish.
But this is where the heart of MC Corsa truly shines: we push through, no matter what. It was a privilege to watch this team gel together under immense pressure. Tim Panetta stepped up brilliantly to take charge of the crew, while Adriano Giorgi kept the team's spirit incredibly high—somehow managing our social media one minute and diving elbow-deep into engine bays the next. Because of that relentless, oiled-machine teamwork, our remaining 86 fought its way to the checkered flag of a grueling race, claiming a hard-fought 7th in Class and 40th overall with serious competitive pace.
To our drivers—William, @adnan.sibai@tommyroso@mrbrentwilson@cgk.31@edanthornburrow — thank you for your trust and your fight. To every mechanic, engineer, and team member: your resilience is what makes this team a family. And to the fans (and the Easter Bunny!) who came by the garage to share the love, thank you for being part of our journey.
We ride the highs, we learn from the lows, and we do it together. See you next year, Bathurst. 🏁⛰️

CLASS WINNERS: A fairy tale story for our Class C winners this year, with the Orange-based MWM Motorsport family crew of B6HR stalwarts Trevor and James Keene breaking through for their first class victories in the race.
The father and son duo finished 17th outright and only two spots behind the leaders in their VW Golf GTi. #B6HR
CLASS WINNERS: In Class B2 High Performance (Naturally Aspirated), Richard Shinkfield, Andrew Milford and Chris Holdt (BMW M3 E92) finished just one lap ahead of the Holden Commodore SSV of Tony Virag, Michael Ferns and Liam Evans - and claimed 16th outright, just one position behind the B1 winning car.

What a weekend! Months of prep, sim work, training, admin, blood, sweat and tears, all for 6 hours of racing, but it was worth it!
After a slightly under the radar qualifying of 61st out of 72 and 13th in class and apart from one incident where we were facing the wrong way on pit straight, we had a great race and finished 33rd outright and 5th in class (out of 15), super proud of the result.
Huge thanks to so many, Ash for the great co drive, Declan, Brad and Ross for the best pit crew you can have, and Annette, Brax, Serge, Luka, Liza, Noah and Brad for coming along to support. Also a special mention to the @fifthgearmotorsport team for their support over the weekend and big congrats on their 3rd in class win! None of this is possible without our sponsors for their support:

CLASS WIN: THREE PEAT!
For the first time in Bathurst 6 Hour history, a team has gone back-to-back-to-back.
Team Buccini Racing's Karlie Buccini, Courtney Prince and Tabitha Ambrose completed their mission to win Class B1 again, finishing 15th outright in the process. #B6HR
CLASS WIN: The remarkable fight for the A2 (Extreme Performance, Normally Aspirated) class also saw the big V8's in the outright fight to the line, with the class lead and second outright changing hands with one corner to go.
Keith Kassulke and Cameron McLeod both claimed their first 6-hour wins - and the Mustang's sixth straight - by just 0.5s ahead of the Cachet Homes Camaro. Finishing 5.8 seconds behind the outright winners in second overall, it's also the closest ever a non-BMW has come to winning outright..
